Hole crap on a stick this was good. The art and flow made me feel like I was watching an Alien movie.

Another strong female character, fighting through other physical issues and who is this time surrounded by those damn (trustworthy? ) androids.

Brian Wood does a great job with the dialog ... and lack of it ... and sets a "dangerous tone" very well, especially for a first issue, But honestly, the art by Tristan Jones combined combined with the perfect colors of Dan Jackson, just knock this puppy right out of this galaxy!!!

EDIT - From the web - "The series is described by writer Brian Wood as being a stand-alone horror-survival story in the vein of the films Alien and Aliens, unrelated to other Aliens/Predator/Aliens vs. Predator titles being published by Dark Horse Comics"

Look, I know when it comes to comics that Aliens books are not usually the best offering, but I am telling you now, if you like the Alien movie series you should really like this title. Written by Brian Wood (Rebels, DMZ, Northlanders, Star Wars, Starve) with art by Tristan Jones (Not sure what he has done, but this art is fantastic) and colors by Dan Jackson, this book is as close to the movie series as any comic I have seen. Not because it is based on the movie Alien characters, but because it feels like an Alien movie. As close as you can get in comic form at least.

And Brian and Tristan know the proper way to do opening credits look like a movie, without wasting two pages and a stupid background image to do so. Hear that Marvel !?!?!

If you like the movies, any or all of them, give this book series a try (especially if you can get them at a good price).
